Definitions
- the first base panel 21 incorporates a locking panel means 26 which is connected to the remainder of the first base panel 21 by a hinge 27 which is parallel to the fold 23 between the first base panel 21 and the side wall 15.
- the locking panel means 26 comprises two locking portions 28 which are independently movable about the first hinge 27. The operation of each locking portion 28 is identical and so the operation and composition of only one will be described.
- the locking portions 28 are then folded about the third hinge 27 away from the pots so that the tabs 30 stand clear of the remainder of the first base panel 21.
- the tabs 30 are then inserted into the opening 41 and engage the respective locking edges 46. This constitutes the primary lock of the device 11 and rotation of the locking portions 28 back towards the pots 12 helps to tighten the blank 10 around the array of pots 12.
- heel retention and flange retention methods described above are shown as examples of suitable designs and could be replaced, modified or even omitted.

Claims (7)
- A paperboard retaining device (11) for holding at least one pair of contoured articles (12) in side by side relationship with respect to one another in two parallel rows, comprising a top panel (14) having a first side edge and a spaced and parallel second side edge; a first side panel (15) having a lower edge and being hingedly connected to the top panel along said first side edge; a second side panel (16) having a lower edge and being hingedly connected to the top panel along said second side edge; a first base panel (21) hingedly connected to the lower edge of the first side panel; a second base panel (22) hingedly connected to the lower edge of the second side panel; and a locking assembly comprising a first lock and a second lock for locking said first base panel (21) and said second base panel (22) together to form a base, said first lock being formed as a part of said first base panel and comprising a locking panel (31) movable about a first hinge (27) spaced from and substantially parallel to the lower edge of the first side panel and a keel panel (37) formed as a part of said second base panel (22) and moveable about a second hinge (38) spaced from and substantially perpendicular to the lower edge of the second side panel, wherein said keel panel (37) is selectively moveable out of a plane generally parallel to said base formed when said first and second base panels (21,22) are locked together and into a raised position above said plane so as to be positioned between two of the articles (12), and wherein said locking panel (28) is moveable to a position adjacent said keel panel (37) so that the locking panel and said keel panel interlock to retain the keel panel in said raised position, and wherein said second lock includes an edge (46) defined in said second base panel by a cut, and a locking tab (30) defined on the locking panel (28) along a third hinge (27), said locking tab (30) being formed as a part of a second locking panel (33) defined in said first base (21) panel between said first hinge (31) and said third hinge (27) which is spaced from and parallel to said first hinge, said tab (30) being sized and shaped to be received behind said edge (46) when said first base panel and said second base panel are interlocked with one another, characterised in that said keel panel (37) includes a fourth hinge (42) parallel to said second hinge (38), said fourth hinge dividing said keel panel into an angled part (44) between said second hinge and said fourth hinge and a free part (43) extending away from said fourth hinge.
- A retaining device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first lock comprises a hook portion (34) on the locking panel (28) and a notch (40) formed in the keel panel (37).
- A retaining device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the cooperating notch (40) is formed in the angled part (44) of the keel panel.
- A retaining device as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3 wherein a further lock is provided to prevent the first lock from opening once engaged.
- A retaining device as claimed in claim 4 wherein said further lock comprises a further hook portion (51) on the locking panel (28) adjacent the second locking panel (33), which further hook portion engages in an additional cut (54) in the second base panel (22).
- A retaining device as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5 wherein the angled part (44) and the free part (43) of the keel panel (37) are contoured so as to follow the contours of the articles (12) which are engaged by the keel panel.
- A retaining device as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6 wherein location means are provided for the heels (13) and/or tops (20) of the articles (12), which location means is in the form of apertures or slots.
